This bill would have increased Medicaid reimbursement rates for prenatal obstetric and gynecological services, pregnancy delivery care services, and postnatal care services. Indiana has the third worst maternal mortality rate in the country, disproportionately impacting people of color and rural communities. This bill is a substantial step to reducing maternal mortality in Indiana and helps ensure continued care for new mothers.
